Zongman: Picked up Medea at the beginning

White, sacred, and sweet as morning dew.

The morning breeze blew across her cheeks, and the eyelashes above her closed eyes were like bent bird wings, fluttering slightly in the wind.

When Roland saw Medea in the anime, she always had thick witch makeup on her face. But when he lifted her hood last night, he discovered that the Medea in his arms was not wearing any makeup.

She now looks less alluring like a witch, but more noble and pure than when she was a princess.

This appearance, coupled with a pair of pointed ears, made her look like an elf in the forest as she lay on the ground, under the shelter of the trees.

Looking at her like this, Roland found a stone, sat on it, and waited for Medea to wake up.

He really didn't expect to meet Medea yesterday.

What was even more unexpected was that Medea had just come here after backstabbing her previous master yesterday.

Then the other party reached a contract with me in this way...

Thinking about what happened last night, Roland didn't know what to say to Medea when she woke up.

After all, after Medea took the initiative to rush towards me yesterday, she probably discovered that I had the qualifications of a magician, or discovered that I was one of the masters and did not summon a heroic spirit, so she gave me the right to decide whether to sign a contract with her.

If he was really a magician, even if he was only as good as Weber during the Holy Grail War, then thinking of the fact that Medea seemed to have set up some kind of spell before she fell into a coma, Roland felt that she was probably thinking that he would sign a contract with her, and then the spell she left behind would shield the magical fluctuations of the contract, and then he would take the opportunity to take Medea away from here and return to his magic workshop...

But unfortunately, Roland doesn't even know how to perform a magic trick.

Moreover, at that time, Medea had already begun to show signs of disappearing. If he wanted to sign a contract with Medea, he could only use Soichiro Kuzuki's method.

After all, apart from this, Roland really didn't know of a second way that would allow him to sign a contract with her and prevent her from leaving.

Of course, Roland was not the kind of guy who would pretend to be innocent after something happened.

He had to admit that he had no resistance when he did this.

but...

When Roland thought of this, he thought of the blush that he had covered with the robe on Medea.

It just... shouldn't happen!

Didn’t Medea and Jason even have a child?

Shouldn't she be a single wife?

When he thought of this, and associated it with the fact that Medea did not have that witch makeup on her face, Roland, who had played the FGO game, actually thought of the young girl Medea when she was a princess.

But the feeling she gave me yesterday was completely different from that of the young Medea!

Not to mention that she appeared here in this state, which should be after she left the previous master... Regardless of whether it was backstabbed or not, at least she severed the contract with the previous master and retained the ability to act alone for a distance.

This requires a treasure that can sever the contract: the Wanfa Bijie Jie.

The young girl Medea shouldn't have this treasure.

After all, this treasure is the embodiment of the legend of the witch of betrayal.

So Roland feels weird now!

I also don't know what to say to Medea when she wakes up.

Roland felt his thoughts were a little confused.

His thoughts flew from last night to now, and the upcoming Fifth Holy Grail War...

Roland was one of those who was suddenly pulled into the Holy Grail War.

He also knew that the Greater Grail was tainted.

So even though he is the Master, he actually has almost no wishes for the Holy Grail. If he has to say one, it is probably that he plans to survive the Holy Grail War.

This is his only purpose in participating in this Holy Grail War.

But now, looking at Medea lying on the ground, Roland raised his eyebrows.

If he remembered correctly, what Medea wanted to do was to bypass the polluted Greater Holy Grail, and then use the Lesser Holy Grail to ensure that she would not be eliminated after the Holy Grail War ended, so that she could stay...

When Roland was thinking of this, there was suddenly some movement from Medea who was lying on the ground.

Under normal circumstances, Roland would not have noticed it, but he had been staring at Medea from the beginning. At that moment, Medea's eyelids twitched a few times, and then her breathing became much more rapid, and finally returned to its original regular pattern.

Roland sighed softly after noticing this.

"You are awake now."

Hearing Roland's words, Medea, who knew she had been discovered, slowly opened her eyes.

She had sensed her condition before, so she didn't sit up directly. She just turned her head and looked at Roland with a complicated look without saying a word, so Roland took the initiative to speak at this moment.

"Although I was chosen by the Command Seal to become one of the participants in the Holy Grail War, I am not actually a magician. I don't even know how to do a single magic trick. I don't even know if I can provide you with enough magic power... So in that case, the only way I can sign a contract with you is by using that rough method."

After hearing Roland's explanation, Medea was stunned for a moment. Then, although her eyes were still very complicated, they were less aggressive.

At this time, Roland also stood up from the stone.

"It's not convenient for you to do this, so please put on your clothes first..."

Roland turned around with his back to Medea, intending to leave here temporarily and let Medea put on her clothes.

But after Roland turned around, he sighed and spoke again.

"I don't know what you are planning, and I'm not going to say anything big at this time... After all, although I am the Master, my understanding of magic and the Holy Grail War is probably not as good as yours."

"But since I have let things develop to this point, I will try my best to do what I can, or what you need me to do... Although this is not something to look forward to, if there is anything you need my help with, please tell me."

"It's a little arrogant to say I'm responsible, but I'll help you, and it's also helping myself."

After saying these words, Roland walked to a slightly further position under Medea's gaze.

Medea sat up slowly after confirming that Roland did not peek. Looking at Roland standing in the distance, she didn't know what to do next.

She is a pathetic person who will give up everything for the person she is obsessed with.

She is a humble person who will contribute to the end once she makes a decision.

The three views she developed during her teenage years are constantly telling her that this is her.

The memories of her time as a witch kept warning her of the consequences of doing so.

She carries the legends, magic, magical powers and memories of her witch days in her girlhood and has the benefits of this state.

For example, her current magic power is the superposition of two periods.

For example, now she can use the treasure·All Laws Must Be Breaked, and she can also use the treasure·All Defects Must Be Repaired.

Moreover, whether it is attack magic or healing magic, she has a unique understanding and extremely high level.

And with some of the experience from her time as a witch, Medea is no longer as naive as a young girl.

But the disadvantage of the coexistence of two periods is that when faced with such things, her values ​​and experiences are constantly in conflict.

This isn't the first time either.

When she was with her previous master, she was also struggling, but finally, with the continuous efforts of her previous master, she reached a compromise between the two periods that was more inclined to the witch period.

So as a traitorous witch, she backstabbed the previous master.

This time, after struggling, Medea tidied her clothes and slowly stood up. Feeling the discomfort in her body, she slowly walked towards where Roland was.

Perhaps she was touched by what happened last night and what Roland just said.

It may also be that she lacks trust in others, so she has the expectation of "wanting to trust others" in both periods.

This time, she reached a compromise between the two periods that was more inclined towards her teenage years.

With her experience as a witch, she would not easily make the decision to give up everything, but at least she planned to give it a try.

As a girl, she decided to try to believe it.

Then use the witch's experience to judge whether her second master is worthy of her trust.

......

3. Medea and the Magician

"We need to clean up a bit here... Never mind, I'll do it."

"Don't put anything here. I need this position to be empty when I set up the barrier later."

"Please work harder. Although this place is small, it is at least a temporary position that we will use for a while. If a magician can't even set up a position, then what kind of magician is he?"

"Okay, you can't help much here, you...well, go cook, and leave the matters concerning the workshop to me."

Medea pushed Roland into the kitchen, then she closed the kitchen door and went to set up a temporary position.

Although Medea preferred Liudong Temple as the location for the magic field after observing it after being temporarily taken home by Roland, she seemed to be motivated in other areas after hearing Roland say that this was Roland's "home". She didn't mention Liudong Temple at all and started to set up the field directly in Roland's home of less than 100 square meters.

To be honest, Roland was a little surprised by this kind of Medea.

Even though Medea had explained her real name and that she was now a combination of Medea as a girl and Medea as a witch on the way, Roland still felt a little sad.

Roland was very accepting of Medea's condition.

Because he has played the FGO game.

He knew very well that in FGO, Medea on the Argo was in this state - except that Medea on the Argo chose to use her teenage self as the main body, while the Medea who signed a contract with Roland now was closer to her witch period.

But this is a matter of choice. Both are possible and there is nothing strange about them.

What really made Roland sigh was Medea's attitude towards him.

Is she... too good to herself?

Of course, this was not because Roland wanted to be a servile person, but after confirming Medea's situation, although his mind was confused, he also had his own plans and plans.

For example, what should he do if Medea makes a fuss, what should he do if Medea stands by and watches coldly, what should he do if Medea backstabs him...but he never expected that Medea would be like this now.

She is trying to trust herself, and she is also observing herself and testing herself.

Roland is not a guy with good conduct. He has a bottom line and will not touch anything he shouldn't touch, but on this basis he has come into contact with quite a lot of women.

So he won't be upset about it like a self-centered kid, nor will he accept it and not care about it like a straight man.

After all, after what happened last night, Medea's observation and test can be seen quite clearly as long as you think carefully about the reasons behind it.

You can tell from her attitude. After all, she hasn't done anything and is still trying to trust you.

So even if she has a bad attitude, she is actually expressing her follow-up plans for what happened last night - that is, she is already trying to accept you.

Besides, Medea's attitude is not bad.

Then her intention was clear.

In the final analysis, we have just met each other and are not familiar with each other.

So it is a test, but it is also a process of understanding each other.

In addition, Roland could see that Medea wanted very little...so this test was also extremely simple.

She believes in you, and she needs you to believe in her.

She won't betray you, and she needs you not to betray her.

That's it.

When Roland thought of this, he became dazed while cooking.

He was rarely tied up by the ropes of complicated plans, but Medea's simple and decisive move left him with little time to react.

So Roland unknowingly gave up his original plan and began to think about how to respond to Medea's purity.

...

Magicians and wizards in fantasy novels are two completely different things.

They are fundamentally different.

Because the wizards in fantasy novels are fighters who manipulate magic to fight. If translated into modern warfare, they are special forces soldiers who are proficient in the use and assembly of various weapons, and can even drive and repair various vehicles.

A magician is a researcher. In modern warfare, a magician is a scientist who specializes in weapons technology.

That is why, in the original development of Type-Moon, there are many magicians who sound very powerful, but they die or are defeated easily in battle, because they are just a group of researchers, not fighters.

Those who are good at fighting are good at fighting, while those who are not good at fighting stay in one place to study magic. This is the norm for most magicians.

Therefore, before a battle, most magicians, if they have time to prepare, will more or less set up their positions.

If you stay in one place for a long time, you will transform your residence into your own "workshop".
